The Case of the Lost Cellphone

Yes, yah read that right. My fucking Palm Treo has been lost. Or/and taken. I should blame this all on Kevin, Bleue, Rens, and Aaron James for convincing me to stay for a couple of hours past my self-imposed curfew. I doubt I’d even remember if I got robbed. Basta the only thing that comes to mind is that I was so sick I vomited my gut off when I told the taxi driver to stop for a minute on the road. Well, actually, I’ve been doing that since I woke up earlier this morning.

Heck, even the BayanTel man who fixed the DSL connection a few minutes ago found my demise highly amusing and worthy of a good chuckle.

I wouldn’t have gotten drunk. I wouldn’t have forgotten how in hell I got home in the middle of the night. And most of all, I wouldn’t have lost my phone.

It hurts so much because aside from the fact that almost all my files are saved there (via my 2GB SD card), that’s Php7,000 of pure blogging earnings. Php7K down the drain. Damn it all to hell. And now, it’s all gone *poof* and I can’t possibly do anything about it. Filipinos are ingenious; I’m sure one way or another, the one who got the so-called blessing will find a way to crack the intricate password I’ve set on the phone.

Gone are my Kurama/Botan fanfictions. Gone are my contacts. Gone are my life and blood.

So, Drew’s (it’s in Katipunan, almost across McDo, behind Shakey’s), here’s to you and your power to make me drunk as hell. Guys (those I was with yester night), here’s to your haggling prowess when it comes to my curfew. I lost my frigging phone, and I thank you all for that. Yes, yes, I’m acquitting myself of this crime.

(Or maybe it’s karma for speaking ill about *some* bloggers, he he.)

In the meantime, you can text me at +63 928 206 2263. Be sure to tell me who the hell you are and what your business is with me.

Thank you.

    Ahh the infamous effect of alcohol…ang aga mong gumising ha?

  2. Talamasca

    Ouch. I soooo know the feeling. *digital pat on the back*

  3. Simply Precious

    OMG!!! *hugs* I hope that you’ll be able to find it, but I’ve heard a lot of stories like this, and it doesn’t end very well… *hugs*

  4. utakGAGO

    Now I feel guilty. :blank:

    Well, I lost my wallet yesterday. It’s not really the amount of the money in my wallet that made me blue for a while, it’s the “wallet” itself. Gaddamit.

    And I feel sick today!!! ARGH.

  5. PIC Microcontroller

    i hope you would still be able to find it.

  6. Hener

    tsk! I feel guilty too! Ako naghatid sayo sa taxi REMEMBER!? arg! dun ka sa harap umupo kaya hindi ko nakita kung nalaglag yun. huhu

    Naalala ko matanda yung taxi driver eh, tinawagan ko yung number pero cannot be reached eh. arg! i feel guilty talaga. hay. :cry: :cry:

  7. Felisa

    That sucks! That kind of stuff scares me and makes me think of the Philippines as such an unsafe place :hmm: Can you really not walk around with gadgets there?

    I hope that you SOMEHOW missed it and I hope it’s in your bag or something.

  8. Neil

    Next time, don’t get yourself drunk. And boo to Kevin and the gang. Shame on you! Shame on you!!! :shakefist:

    LOL.

    I know the feeling, Shari. My Smartphone, along with all the contacts I got from so many acquaintances, along with my 1GB SD card, was lost, too.

    Goodbye, 7K. Goodbye.

    Weytamminit. Speaking ill against some… is that ME? :nod:

  9. Shari

    @LA, I had to make a haste visit to the bathroom kasi eh, harhar. Dapat kasi kasama ka!

    @Talamasca, thanks. *sniffs digitally*

    @Simply Precious, especially here in the Philippines.

    @utakGAGO, holy freak Kevin! Kambal talaga tayo ng kapalaran, haha! And I doubt you’re the only one who feels sick today. I feel extremely sick today.

    @PIC Microcontroller, sadly, I doubt it. :(

    @Hener, I don’t remember actually, pero sabi nga ng iba ikaw naghatid sa akin. And I remember nga na dun ako sa harap umupo. Haaay. Hoy, guilty-guilty-han ka dyan. Haha.

    @Felisa, you can, if you want to broadcast ‘em. As much as possible, I don’t even bring out my phone whenever I’m in a public place. I must’ve dropped the phone somewhere.

    @Neil, yeah yeah yeah. YOU should’ve been there and let us watch how you’d fare against the power of Jerbaxxx.

  10. Kist

    I’m sorry to hear about your phone and tss.. And it’s definitely frustrating on how you lost it. Tss.

  11. Lakwatsero

    I feel guilty din, kasi kinulit ba naman natin sa shari na magstay late, kung umuwi cguro sya ng maaga, d mangyayari ito. In the end tuloy sya na ang pumipigil sa atin… haha! Pero i blame it all (shari’s fone, moises’ wallet, me not showing in tacloban) to DREWS! waaah, sobrang sakit ng ulo ko ngayon! to sum it up, heto ang talaan ng mga nawala as a result of last night’s drinking session

    Table 1: Listahan ng mga nawala

    Name Nawala

    Aaron - Nawala sa exam nya
    Angel- Nawala sa early morning flight nya
    Kevin - Nawala ang wallet
    Rens - *virginity* daw lols
    Shari - Nawala ang fone at ang take out na McDo Fries

  12. Shari

    @Kist, yeah, my fault. Tsk.

    @Lakwatsero, haha talaga, ako pa yung pumigil sa ating umuwi? Nyahaha! Ang funny. Blah. And geez, kumusta naman tayo noh. I wonder how Aaron James did on his exam? :p (sakit ng tyan ko)

  13. Lakwatsero

    yeah, i dunno if naalala mo pa, haha, na umorder ka pa ulit ng isang pitcher ng Jerbaxx na hindi na natin nabawasan, at ewan saan naiwan ni Rens. To update the table:

    Table 1: Listahan ng mga nawala

    Name - Nawala

    Aaron - Nawala sa exam nya
    Angel- Nawala sa early morning flight nya
    Kevin - Nawala ang wallet
    Rens - *virginity* daw lols at ang take out sa Drews
    Shari - Nawala ang fone at ang take out na McDo Fries

  14. Neil

    @Shari - I wasn’t that tired after the seminar. Kaso, iniisip ko yung pamasahe ko pauwi. Naghihirap kami ngayon (read: Php200). And I’m preoccupied. Yeah. Shit. -_- huhuhu….

    :cry:

  15. Poli

    That sucks.

    Getting robbed is better than losing things yourself. At least you have something to put the blame on besides yourself. Hehe!

  16. tonyo cruz

    I sympathize with you. I hope you kept desktop backups of your Contacts and other Palm stuff.

  17. Cars

    Hi Shari! Long time no visit to your blog. Loving our layout. :)

    Daarnn. I hate it when that happens to me. Aw. Hope you find another phone to spend your life with.. O_O

  18. jhay

    That’s why I bought a lace to keep my phone attached to me.

    Oh well, sh*t happens. It’s a good thing you only lost your phone, it could’ve been worse. :lol:

  19. kelreel

    i couldn’t stop laughing at laksatwero’s list of missing things. hahaha.

    i’m kel reel by the way, just browsing through utakgago’s blogroll, sorry for barging in. haha.

    hope you (1) got your phone back (2) get a new phone as soon as possible. :dance:

  20. keysi

    WTF? lol. i lost mine about 5 weeks ago. yeah. in the MRT. yeah. fucking trolls. but hey, losing something usually means buying something new, so there. cheer up.

  21. trench

    Ouch. Alcohol. Does more than just make you puke. Thats the reason I dont get blasted anymore!

  22. Laarni

    awww sorry to hear that. My friend also lost his phone yesterday.

  23. Chase Ravndal

    Awww I am so sorry to hear that you lost your phone. It happened also to my classmate who was so drunk that he can’t seem to remember where he placed his phone.

  24. Lionheart

    Sorry to hear that… ako rin kasi nawalan ng cellphone dati… Almost 3 days di ako makagalaw… Kasi andami kong contacts at mga nasave ko dun na importante.

  25. Christian

    Whaa. I’m sorry to hear that. Kawawa ka naman…

    btw, i’m erika. i’m a friend of kevin and yna (she used to be your hostee diba?). :]

  28. Karen

    Well. Here you are. At least I no longer get lost in your archives.

    I also love the pinkness of this site.

  29. Keiyt

    oh no! sayang naman yon. nakakainis lang kasi maraming files. :)

    Sorry about your phone. That sucks, losing not just the phone but the files in it as well.

  31. Arlo

    Whoa. That is one head-ripping tragedy. Don’t worry, Shari. God has ways.

  32. poell

    cheers :P im back bloggin’…

  33. Dean

    Can’t remember the last time I lost a phone. *lol* I am so thankful that I was able to keep my N93 safe in the one year it spent with me. *lol*
